Debut series

Lewis was crucial in his first game, taking three wickets for the match as well as a run out in the final over which helped secure victory. His second match, however, was a different story. Lewis was the most expensive bowler, with the terrible figures of 1/77 off nine overs. In the same match, Mitchell Johnson made his debut as New Zealand successfully chased down a record 331.

Most expensive ODI bowling

In the multiple record-breaking 5th One Day International between South Africa and Australia, Lewis had the ignominy of becoming the most expensive bowler in ODI history with figures of 10-0-113-0 in his 10 overs, breaking Muttiah Muralitharan's "record" set only a month before. Lewis was the most expensive bowler on the team during the match, when captain Ricky Ponting brought him on for his final spell. This decision was due to Lewis' reputation as an "at-the-death" bowler and the fact that he had won a game for Australia in the final over a couple of months previously. Lewis was already low on confidence and with the combination of a short boundary and batsman-friendly pitch, he was cannon-fodder for the South African batsmen. Wikipedia is Communism! ...
